[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Kim Young-rok, Governor of Jeollanam-do, visited the rice lodging damage site caused by Typhoon Haishen, the 10th typhoon, on the 7th, and stated, "We will strive for multifaceted support measures for the damage and improvement of the unreasonable crop disaster insurance."

On this day, Governor Kim visited the damage site located in Anpung-dong, Suncheon City, checked the damage status, and comforted the farmers who suffered damage ahead of the harvest season.

Governor Kim said, "It is very unfortunate that the farms about to harvest rice have suffered lodging damage," and added, "We will devise multifaceted support measures and actively propose to the government to improve the unreasonable crop disaster insurance system."

Currently, Jeollanam-do is quickly identifying crop damage surveys and reports caused by Typhoon Haishen through eup, myeon, and dong offices.

In particular, a restoration support plan will be established according to the Agricultural Disaster Countermeasures Act to ensure that no farms are omitted during disaster compensation.

Additionally, to enable prompt recovery for the affected farms, a demand survey by city and county will be conducted, and labor assistance will be promoted together with civilian, government, and military sectors.

Meanwhile, recently, three typhoons?Bavi, Maysak, and Haishen?have consecutively affected the Jeonnam region, damaging about 5,000 hectares of farmland in the province.

In response, the province is cooperating with cities, counties, and military units to support agricultural work such as pear harvesting and fallen fruit collection, showing a damage recovery rate of about 68% as of 3 p.m. on the day.
